In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in allocpreauthhash()
The Client send malformed smb2 negotiate request. ksmbd return error response. Subsequently, the client can send smb2 session setup even thought conn->preauthinfo is not allocated. This patch add KSMBDSESSNEEDSETUP status of connection to ignore session setup request if smb2 negotiate phase is not complete.
